33rd Division [App Store]
A line-drawing tactical game set in the WW2. The objective is to escort allied soldiers without the enemy patrols noticing them. You gain points (and time bonus) for each escorted soldier, depending on the selected game mode. You can choose between TIME mode or LIFE mode. By drawing a line you can escort either a soldier, a medic or a sergeant. Each of them moves at a different speed and will give you a different number of points. A moving soldier can lie down and make himself disappear from the enemy’s field of view. If he fails to lie down while in the enemy’s field of view, he’ll be killed and you lose a life or time. On the way to the target point you can collect power-ups like double-speed, enemy freeze, score bonus etc. Reaching certain score unlocks a new mission.

Dave Castelnuovo over at Bolt Creative posted news concerning the recently submitted 1.27 update to Pocket God over at Touch Arcade a little while ago. Certainly exciting… and best of all… NEW ACHIEVEMENTS coming our way!
Pocket God [App Store]
Finally getting back into work mode after recovering from a cold last week. We submitted the update last Wednesday night and everything is looking good. Since then we have been resting up and taking care of bookkeeping matters which is quite the pain.
We have been getting some really good feedback about our T-Rex DLC. there is some confusion about whether you get all the options or just a single option for $0.99 and we want to make sure everyone knows you get all the options for that pack and you can go back to the screen at any time to change your T-Rex back to the original or another skin without having to pay again.
As far as the results (in case you’re a dev and are thinking of implementing DLC). We haven’t received much of a backlash from going to 3.0 only. We might get 1 email every few days about it and most of them are fairly understanding, but might not have the money to upgrade right away. We have had some issues with reviews where people think that going to 3.0 means that the game isn’t compatible at all with iPod Touch. I’m not sure if these reviews are by people who are trying to spread false information because they are angry or they just didn’t bother to read the message that tells them to upgrade to 3.0. We lost about 10 ranking points in the top paid apps (US) due to the 3.0 change but it seems we are fairly stable at 33 right now. Even though new users dipped, our overall sales of DLC + new users are better than what we were getting before with just new users. Also, the sales curve is a little steeper with DLC than with new sales. For us at least, new sales decline at a pretty slow rate while DLC has a huge spike when the update first comes out but a pretty rapid decline after that. Although, after a week, it seems like DLC sales is settling into 27% of new sales. It will be interesting to see when the new DLC pack comes out whether its sales will add to this figure or just replace it. Also, keep in mind, we have a pretty big fan base and a lot of loyal users that continue to check out our updates. It would be interesting to see what other apps are seeing with their DLC figures.

Defender Chronicles [App Store]
It seems that the trouble hasn’t ended for Chillingo’s best selling Tower Defense game. A recent update, 1.3.1, was released in order to fix, amongst other things, a major crash bug. While it seems that the crash bug has been remedied, the update has also introduced more bugs. Users are complaining that since update 1.3.1, they are no longer able to play Legendary Difficulty or access the new map Helegom.
The good news: Update 1.3.2 should be submitted today (Monday 19 Oct), so expect this to be released within a few weeks.
